A Resource About Endometriosis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When the strange pains in your abdomen have been diagnosed as "Endometriosis," you may wish for more information about this puzzling and distressing disease that affects women during their reproductive years. Because the endometrial tissue, which normally forms only inside of the uterus, can be positioned in so many other locations within the body, the symptoms can be most variable in nature and severity. Understanding the nature, causes and treatments of endometriosis can be of extreme value in coping with its affects. Obtaining the comprehensive and instructional information booklet "Endometriosis" from the Endometriosis Association can be the first step in gaining the knowledge you need. It provides basic information about the disease and its treatments, and how the association can be a source of help and assistance. The brochure is available in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese and German and can be obtained by sending a stamped self-addressed business sized envelope to the Endometriosis Foundation, International Headquarters, 8585 N. 76th Place, Milwaukee, WI 53223.
